I have three. The first was free because the breeder was going to destroy her as a bad example of the breed. The second was free because her person passed away. The third was $90 from a shelter. All three are papered. And all three are sweet, adorable babies!
I just saw your question about the shelters. Yes. It IS in America. There are all sorts of chihuahua rescue groups. Try petfinder.org. My chi came from the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. They got him from a breed rescue in Las Vegas.

You should opt for adopting one from a animal shelter. Most all of the chihuahua dogs bred in the States are from puppy mills. If you aren't aware......puppy mills are animal factories where dogs live in deplorable conditions, have zero vet care, have poor diets, and dirty cages. Save a life and go to a shelter.

i have a male and he is the sweetest thing but he was also properly socialized. now i have a foster and she is not so nice but she was raised by a breeder who only let her in and out to breed and that was it . so now as a result she is scared of everything and she can be snippy . so you need to lookat the local shelter or in the newspaper and dont pay more than 400.00 for one from a breeder . good luck.
